Saw Sing 2. Oh my god it was ridiculous. It's not very good but in a campy, minions-style way: the whole thing is so ephemeral, it's harmless. It has all the dumb entertainment of a reality TV show but with the rapid rhythm of a scripted cartoon. It's a film that lives for the unrealistic bliss of catharsis achieved in the middle of a musical act: the audience singing and clapping along, the klieg lights glaring, and the main characters maybe learning a little something about themselves. So silly! I was sort of interested by the idea of an act within a piece of media: you can see the stage scaffolding (and the klieg lights) and somehow it makes it more realistic, this visual clutter of artificial behind-the-scenes. Very strange! It's all a cartoon anyway, why not make it just a fantasy, like they do in (I dunno) the climax of Madagascar 3? I have opinions about funny-animal cartoons.
